Too often, mathematics and science are taught in isolation from each other and from meaningful problems that matter to students. This book draws on the authors’ experiences with teacher colleagues, including time spent in their classrooms co-developing and refining lessons. The core of their approach is to encourage learners to pursue solutions to everyday challenges through design-based learning cycles. Students use mathematical modeling to describe or summarize a phenomenon, predict which potential solutions may be successful, and/or to test actual performance against predictions. The authors emphasize connecting grade-appropriate science and math content standards and integrating literacy with evidence-based argument through design briefs and presentations. Teachers will learn how to support productive struggle and structure group learning that promotes equity, while teaching in the classroom or virtually as needed.The middle grades are a pivotal time to engage the next generation so that they are prepared to solve tomorrow’s challenges. Classroom teachers, pre-service educators, and faculty in teacher education programs can use Design Thinking in the Middle Grades as a foundational text for math, science, and integrated STEM teaching.Book Features:Identifies the content standards, objectives, and practices from math, science, and language arts for each lesson sample.Combines mathematical modeling with engineering design as a tool to facilitate deep learning.Offers a range of design activities to produce both artifacts and processes.Describes design activities focused on easily obtained, inexpensive, or found materials to avoid narrowing access in underfunded schools.

Flexible Flat Panel DisplaysA complete treatment of the entire lifecycle of flexible flat panel displays, from raw material selection to commercializationIn the newly revised Second Edition of Flexible Flat Panel Displays, a distinguished team of researchers delivers a completely restructured and comprehensive treatment of the field of flexible flat panel displays. With material covering the end-to-end process that includes commercial and technical aspects of the technology, the editors have included contributions that introduce the business, marketing, entrepreneurship, and intellectual property content relevant to flexible flat panel displays.This edited volume contains a brand-new section on case studies using the Harvard Business School format that discusses current and emerging markets in flexible displays, such as an examination of the use of electronic ink and QD Vision in commercial devices.From raw material selection to device prototyping, manufacturing, and commercialization, each stage of the flexible display business is discussed in this insightful new edition. The book also includes: Thorough introductions to engineered films for display technology and liquid crystal optical coatings for flexible displaysComprehensive explorations of organic TFT foils, metallic nanowires, adhesives, and self-healing polymer substratesPractical discussions of flexible glass, AMOLEDs, cholesteric displays, and electronic paperIn-depth examinations of the encapsulation of flexible displays, flexible batteries, flexible flat panel photodetectors, and flexible touch screensPerfect for professionals working in the field of display technology with backgrounds in science and engineering, Flexible Flat Panel Displays is also an indispensable resource for professionals with marketing, sales, and technology backgrounds, as well as senior undergraduates and graduate students in engineering and materials science.
